Spring Millinery
Miss S. G. Reynolds, my
trimmer, has arrived
from Portland.
The limited space in my new quarters prevents
my making an opening display, hut I have a splendid
showing of Spring Goods, selected through the good
taste of Miss Reynolds,
I can safely say, bring your hat troubles to us. They
will be well taken care of, whether it be the making
of a new one or the making over your old one.
The same careful attention to style and work
man ship will be given.
MRS. L. G. HERkEN
a-
He was an itinerant, rambling,!
cynical, competent son-of-a-gun. j
" He wouldn't work longer than
necessary to raise the price of one
i souse, and he was the bartender's -delight
in forty-some states and
territories, but we never saw one yet
that wasn't a whiz at his job.
He would shamble into a strange
country office, take off his coat and,
without question, apology, by your
leave, or a single "Where's tne
copy?" get out the paper the week
ly paper that required more getting
out than any city daily ever did.
He could stick type, that boy-could.
He could lay out ads, and make a
press print that never was known to
do so on publication day before.
He didn't require a million dollars
rrtl. n.f "furniture" to lock UD a
two-hit ad. and he had forgotlen
more about editorial ethics and news
values and efficiency than a lot of us
fresh, whiie-collared guys were likely
to Hcniiire.
He didn't have much to say ne
wasn't with us long; just over the
horizon was where his pot ot gold
wna-alwavs beckoning; or maybe it
was a pot of hooch.
But his last dollar his.nrst was
usually also his last was at the dis
posal of any chap who needed it
worse than he did.
He never soldiered on the job.
He usually got the worst of it, like
the last cat in the town pond, and if
home and mother and wife and
.hiidrfin and a pald-for seat In the
synagogue meant anything in his
isolated life, we never Qiscoveiea 11.
But he was a wise old bird. Ana
he saved the day, at leasi uui.c
week, in every sizable town in tne
land.
The linotype got him.
The elimination of the haphazard
in the back-oface, and the institution
of shop systems and efficiency charts
and production of peak diagrams
finished his somewhat Dewinsnereq
.:,t hut in his day. and in his prime,
there wasn't another son-of-a-gun be
tween Adam and him who knew nis
ork any better, or could do it more
horoughly, drunk, sober, or half-and-half.
Gee! We would like to be editor of
a morning paper in a wide-open cuw
-own once more, with nobody on the
job but just us and a flat-footed,
.lobo printer at three a. m., when the
hurdy-gurdies are going good and an
.ecaskmal vio-ylpping cow-puncher
is kicking the front door as he sways
past. Pep.
March comes in with an abundant
lownpour of rain. Nature seems to
io determined to do all she can for
-, thi3 season, and is certainly put
ing the farmer on the road to
HGsperity. And then, too, the
leckmaster is coming in for hi3
.hare. Lambing is now on the way
.t many ranches, with the weather
.udltijii& just about right and the
ange taking on the necessary green
Uai furnishes the succulent feed for
ha mother ewe. Apparently we
have little to complain about, and
pretty soon, the income tax man will
be along to relieve us of any super
lluityin the way of burdensome
cash, and that, will take away another
source of worry.
